Tw Not Coping

[tyme]

@creative_writer - would you say it is like because there so much uncertainty, food is once thing you CAN control - hence you do focus on that?

I found I had this issue - it ended up turning into disordered eating. I worked on it a bit with my clinician in therapy.

That's so good to hear @Birdofparadise8 . I certainly found my supports in VIC - like no other state. I moved states to VIC too. I'm so glad I did.

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah I am looking forward to it @tyme I am a bit nervous though and excited at the same time.

I'll definitely be supporting you through the move @Birdofparadise8 . Hopefully you can connect with more supports here asap.

Have you looked at Project Air's peer-led groups for BPD? They are held online. Project Air is based in NSW.

This might be a good start while you are waiting?

Thank you @tyme that means a lot. I really though need something in the short term for now because I am really struggling right now and just keep getting so many road blocks in the way with my risk factor and all. 

No I haven’t I will look into it.

@tyme it may be a form of disordered eating but don’t think it’s at ED level. I never went to therapy for it because I felt too stupid to talk about it. I think it is about being able to control food. I also prefer when things go to plan and get very anxious when they don’t, life throws a lot of uncertainty, which is scary.

@Birdofparadise8 there are a lot of good supports available in Vic, I hope you can get through to them 🙂

[Birdofparadise8]

Thank you. I will check that out @tyme 

I hope so too @creative_writer I am really struggling to find something.

@Birdofparadise8 , please do. It would be a good start. The people who oversee it are lovely - I've spoken to them a number of times. Not for therapy - just for research.
